Cristiano Ronaldo found himself changing in a dressing room reminiscent of a ‘Sunday league’ setup when playing for Al-Nassr, highlighting the varying levels of infrastructure in the Saudi Pro League amidst this summer’s flurry of transfer window spending.
Ronaldo’s scored a hattrick last match
Piers Morgan, known for his outspoken views, asserts that Cristiano Ronaldo is in peak physical condition and more motivated than ever, while also criticizing Erik ten Hag for his handling of Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United.
Pier mocks Ten Hag after letting Ronaldo go
In a recent Saudi Pro League match against Al Fateh, Ronaldo scored a remarkable three goals for Al Nassr, showcasing a stark contrast to his former club’s struggles. Manchester United has managed just one goal in their opening two Premier League games, prompting Morgan to mockingly question Ten Hag’s decision to let the prolific forward go midway through the previous season.
Manchester United is indeed grappling with a goal-scoring problem at the outset of this season
Morgan quipped, “As Cristiano Ronaldo scores three goals and provides a brilliant assist for Mane, whilst looking fitter and hungrier than ever, a reminder that Erik ‘I’m a genius, just ask me’ Ten Hag deemed him surplus to requirements for a Manchester United team which can’t hit a barn door.”
While Morgan’s opinion might not sway the assessment of Ten Hag’s choices, Manchester United is indeed grappling with a goal-scoring problem at the outset of this season, with a goalless outing against Tottenham in their recent match.
